My Goals:
I have the motivation I need to make it this time. Now all I need to do is keep up with my excercise and trying to control my food intake. I know I can do it this time FOR ME!!!

My Program:
I am excercising alone 5 days a week (treadmill or walking outdoors and doing a strenght training routine 3 times a week). I am also trying hard to control my cravings for sweets and stay within my calorie limit. I do have a very hard time doing so because I never before cared to keep track of my calories or control portion sizes. I liked it I ate it... it was simple as that. Not a very smart choice...now I know that!

Personal Information:
Hi there, I am an almost 40 year old mom of 4 boys. I live in a Chicago suburb with my husband and my kids. I feel depressed often because all my family members are far away (they live in Europe. I miss them so much... When I am sad I eat alot of chocolate. Some times I eat just because I am angry or lonely. I want to take control of my emotions and improve myself. I think all is in our minds and with the right motivation we can do anything we put our minds on.
